Chocolate Guinness Cupcake

It’s Father’s Day on Sunday which is also the birthday of my partner Yaw. So it’ll be a double celebration on Sunday. My Mr’s drink of choice is Guinness. Why he does is beyond me, i mean the drink is not exactly sweet.  I am a bit of sweet tooth. The taste is not so bad when it is really cold. Okay back to Yaw (less of my moans) he is LOVES Guinness and chocolate cake. The only cake he has is chocolate cake and i just think with the addition of Guinness in the batter he will love it. His favourite tipple in a cake.

The guinness enhances the chocolate flavour, making it pop. The chocolate guinness cupcake is a rich and moist. You don’t even taste the guiness. For the frosting i piped on my favourite whipped vanilla bean buttercream.  The chocolate guiness cupcake is not too sweet and the delicious whipped vanilla buttercream makes up for it.
